Bull Moose Has Rival as Progressive Party Emblem.

Orange, N. J., Nov. 12.—Henry Clark, a local hunter, is appealing to his friends today to solve an odd puzzle which is amusing local political partisans. Clerk went hunting in the Orange mountains yesterday, the first day of the open season for rabbits, and came home with a large ’possum in his game bag. When he set out to prepare the ’possum for a roast he n found it had swallowed a celluloid button bearing a picture of Theodore Roosevelt on which was printed “Vote for Theodore Roosevelt for governor.” The button was evidently one used during Roosevelt’s gubernatorial campaign in New York state. Clark avers that the original Bull Moose must have been a ’possum.
